Throughout SaltShake’s online creativity course, you will be taught the Frette Method of transmuting life experiences into performance art.

Week 1: Somatic Centering
We begin our first modules by discussing somatic techniques, and studies on movement as a regulating practice in order to create a safe space both inside and outside the body. This sets a foundation of why it’s important to express through the body as we move through stagnancy and shake it off.

Week 2: Forming the Clay
Though a series material generating writing prompts, challenges, discussions, and games, we will form the elements of our “clay” — the foundation for your creative journey.

Week 3: Shaping the Vessel
Now that your clay is formed, you will explore its elements and apply a director’s mindset to mold the clay into a short performance using character work.

Week 4: Making the Mosaic

To make a mosaic means to work from broken pieces. In week 4, we reintroduce games from week two to flip and reverse our works until their underbelly is revealed. This allows us to see them in a ways we don’t expect inspiring investigations of the stories hidden beneath their cracks. These stories are what inform our characters.

Week 5: Framing the Mosaic We will round out our five weeks together with somatic center, journal reflection, and by sharing our mosaics with each other as the characters we developed.
